Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for determining the habitual head posture of a subject and to an apparatus for determining the habitual head posture of a subject. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method for determining centering data and to an apparatus for determining centering data. The invention also relates to a computer program for carrying out the methods referred to above.
- the customer is requested to adopt a head and body posture that is as natural as possible.
- the centering values are then defined by marking the viewing points in the disc plane of the spectacle frame by means of a pen or by means of video recording and subsequent manual centering data determination (such as in the case of the video centering device sold by the applicant under the trade name “Video Infral”) or automated centering data determination (such as in the case of the video centering device sold by the applicant under the trade name “RV terminal”).
- Y-Stick In order to determine the forward inclination angle, an aid called “Y-Stick” is known, which “freezes” the forward inclination angle of the spectacle frame at a point in time in order that said angle can subsequently be read.
- the forward inclination angle thus detected is used in a subsequent step for positioning the customer in the same position in front of a centering system.
- EP 1 591 064 A1 discloses a measuring instrument for determining the inclination of the head, this being sold by the applicant of EP 1 591 064 under the designation “Ysis”.
- the measuring instrument is fixed to the spectacle frame.
- This proposal aims to capture the “normal” head posture at a point in time in each case for the near and far viewing directions. From the head inclinations assumed when looking into the distance and when reading, the difference in head inclination between distant-vision and close-vision tasks is determined. The associated viewing points through the spectacle lens are then determined therefrom.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,827,443 discloses classifying the behavior of a wearer of spectacles with regard to the latter's viewing habits.
- the typical head and eye movement is determined for various vision tasks.
- the viewing behavior of the subject is categorized according to “mobility” of the eyes and of the head (“head/eye mover”).
- head/eye mover The results of the analysis are used in this case as a basis for selecting a suitable spectacle lens.
- United States patent application publication 2007/0229761 discloses ascertaining the most frequent viewing directions relative to the head. For this purpose, head posture and viewing direction are detected simultaneously. The relative “net” viewing direction and the resultant viewing point through a spectacle lens are determined from the relative viewing directions determined.
- DE 2004 063 160 A1 describes a method and a device for adapting spectacles, in particular for detecting the habitual head posture of a subject, the measurement data of which are incorporated in video centering data determination.
- the method involves taking a number of video photographs of the subject in order to determine the head posture angles of a subject in various head posture positions, detecting the head posture angles and adjusting them with the forward inclination angle of the spectacle frame and also the corneal vertex distance.
- the corresponding video photographs are captured at a moment when, in the operator's opinion, the subject has adopted his or her natural habitual head posture.
- a centering measurement that is, a measurement which involves determining all the required information for the correct centering of spectacle lenses in a spectacle frame for the individual use purpose of the customer or subject, constitutes a forced situation for the customer of the optician.
- this head posture does not necessarily correspond to the “normal”, that is, the most frequent head posture in actually unforced situations.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a corresponding apparatus for more precisely determining the habitual head posture of a subject.
- the object of the invention consists in providing a method rendered more precise for centering data determination and a corresponding apparatus suitable for performing the method according to the invention.
- the method according to the invention for determining the habitual head posture of a subject comprises the following method steps:
- the corresponding apparatus for determining the habitual head posture of the subject correspondingly comprises:
- the method outlined above and the corresponding apparatus designed, in particular, for carrying out this method prevent the habitual head posture of the subject from being mistakenly assumed as a head posture which is recorded or determined randomly at a point in time and which precisely does not correspond to the subject's usual head posture, as can be the case according to the methods from the prior art described in the introductory part of the disclosure under the heading “Background of the Invention”.
- the objects presented are therefore achieved in their entirety by this method and the corresponding apparatus.
- the assumption of the habitual head posture as the preferred head posture determined from a head posture recorded over a certain time also makes it possible, for example, to correct the head posture measured during the centering measurement (for example, with the aid of the video centering devices sold by the applicant under the designations Relaxed Vision Terminal and Video Infral), such that the centering data are determined on the basis of the “normal” rather than random head posture.
- the invention therefore also encompasses a method for determining centering data, wherein:
- the invention correspondingly also relates to an apparatus for determining centering data and includes:
- the period of time within which the head posture is recorded can be predetermined.
- the head posture can be recorded only during the time during which reliable data on the habitual posture of the subject's head can actually be inferred.
- the recording of forced and/or unnatural head postures can be avoided.
- the period of time can be defined individually such that the data material recorded permits a sufficiently reliable statement about the actual habitual head posture. It is expedient, for example, if, from the recording, only those time segments within which the subject has actually adopted a head and/or body posture corresponding to ergonomic principles are selected for the purpose of determining the habitual head posture.
- the preferred head posture should be understood to mean the head posture in which the subject keeps their head during a predetermined vision task with a certain probability. Typical values for said probability are, for example, above 30%, above 50%, above 80% or even above 90% for the specific vision task.
- Such an analysis can be carried out by means of customary mathematical/statistical methods. Suitable software algorithms can, as necessary automatically or with support by the user, eliminate extreme values (outliers) from the recorded volume of data of the habitual head posture, before a typical head posture is determined. By way of example, a selection is then made from the set of these most probable head postures.
- the recorded head posture in which the subject keeps their head with the highest probability can also be selected as the preferred head posture.
- the invention provides, for example, for choosing as the preferred head posture one of the recorded postures in which the subject keeps their head during near-range viewing and/or during far-range viewing.
- the invention provides for choosing, as the preferred head posture, one of the recorded postures during which the subject is standing and/or sitting.
- the habitual head posture is especially dependent on the subject's activity and the visual impressions perceived by the subject. It is therefore furthermore expedient to present the subject with specific everyday situations and/or everyday vision tasks from and on which the subject's habitual head posture is intended to be determined.
- the advantage associated therewith is that the subject/customer is diverted from the actual measurement situation and therefore does not adopt an unnatural head posture.
- the vision tasks may consist in the subject/customer moving freely, for example, in the store of the optician who records the habitual head posture and, for example, viewing the goods on display, or the subject/customer, for example, following traffic situations represented by means of an electronic medium, such as a display, a beamer, et cetera, as is described, for example, in United States patent application publication 2007/0229761 A1, or the subject/customer being requested to read through a piece of text.
- the vision tasks are chosen, for example, such that a typical head posture when standing and/or when sitting can be determined. During centering data determination for reading spectacles, it will be necessary to take into consideration, for example, the habitual head posture during which the subject is sitting and reading.
- the subject/customer for the purpose of dynamically determining the habitual head posture over a time interval, can be presented with everyday situations or everyday vision tasks in the near and/or far range.
- the head posture if appropriate in combination with the associated body posture and, if appropriate, also the (relative) positions such as, for example, the inclination of the spectacles or of the spectacle lenses worn by the subject, are measured continuously. The measurement is effected in such a way that the subject/customer is not adversely affected thereby.
- the respective most frequent head posture, and insofar as concomitantly recorded also the associated body posture, and, if appropriate, also the position, in particular inclination of the spectacles or of the spectacle lenses, can be determined and taken into account later when determining the centering data.
- the viewing points during near- and/or distant-vision tasks the so-called inset and/or the corridor length.
- the viewing point through the spectacle lens can be determined, for example, from the head posture during viewing in the near and far range given a known position of the visual target. If the viewing points are known, it is thus also possible to determine the size of the inset, and also the length of the corridor of the near portion. A possible difference between head direction and viewing direction can also be taken into account when determining the viewing points and/or the inset.
- the head posture of the subject can be determined in a wide variety of ways.
- the recording of the head posture can be carried out by means of a position recording device fitted to the subject's head.
- the position recording device can be fixed indirectly, that is, for example, to the spectacle frame arm, or directly to the client's head.
- Said position recording device can function according to the principle of a data logger with subsequent data transfer via a base station, or the data transfer can be effected simultaneously via a wireless connection, such as WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network), namely, for example, via Bluetooth, or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), online during the entire measurement interval.
- WPAN Wireless Personal Area Network
- WLAN Wireless Local Area Network
- the measured-value pick-up has to be brought to a reference position before and/or after the measuring process, the orientation of said reference position being known.
- a horizontal table surface or the support of a mount provided specifically for this purpose can serve as the reference position.
- the recording of the head posture can additionally or alternatively be carried out by means of an image recording device.
- An image recording device of this type can be e.g. a video or digital camera system with connected automated image evaluation.
- the image data can be processed further either as two-dimensional (2D) data directly or after the creation of a three-dimensional (3D) model as 3D data.
- 2D two-dimensional
- 3D three-dimensional
- typical parameters such as forward inclination, lateral inclination, et cetera of the spectacles can also be determined from these data.
- the actual instantaneous head posture determined can be corrected with the aid of the habitual head posture determined in such a way that the centering data are determined on the basis of the habitual rather than the random head posture.
- the correction can be effected, for example, by determining the deviation of the instantaneous head posture from the habitual head posture and converting/correcting the centering values on the basis of this deviation.
- the determined habitual head posture of the subject/customer and the forward inclination angle of the spectacles that is likewise determined, if appropriate, can also serve for the forced orientation of the customer for conventional centering data determination, by virtue of the fact that when the sought forward inclination angle of the spectacles is attained, an automatic triggering of the imaging units is initiated or a signal is given to the operator that the centering data can now be determined.
- the invention also provides, in particular, for the above-described methods for determining the habitual head posture and for determining centering data to be present in the form of computer programs comprising program codes which are executable in a computer.
- the computer programs can be stored on a machine-readable data carrier.
- the abovementioned recording device for recording the head posture over a period of time can comprise a position recording device and/or an image recording device which can be fitted to the subject's head.
- Position recording device and/or image recording device can be embodied, for example, in the manner described above.
- the determining device for determining a preferred head posture from the recording can comprise a computer.
- the head posture determining device for determining the actual instantaneous head posture of a subject can comprise a position recording device and/or an image recording device, in particular of the type described above.
- the determining device for determining the arrangement of a spectacle frame relative to the actual instantaneous head posture determined can comprise an image recording device, in particular a video or digital camera, and/or a computer.

- This apparatus for determining centering data 100 comprises a video centering device 110 with video camera 112 and computer 114 with keyboard 116 , screen 118 and storage medium 120 .
- This is a calibrated system, that is, a system for recording and determining dimensions.
- the customer's face is recorded with an adaptive frame 202 in the zero viewing direction from the front and from the side by means of the video camera 112 , as is illustrated in FIGS. 2 a and 2 b.
- the frame form 202 is detected. Furthermore, the pupil centers 204 are determined, for example, by the coincidence method, relative to the frame form 202 . With the side recording, the corneal vertex distance HSA and the forward inclination (p) of the frame are determined in order to fulfill the eye rotation point requirement, as illustrated in FIG. 2 d.
- the invention now provides for recording the habitual head posture and the inclination of the spectacles, for example, with the aid of the calibrated video camera over a relatively long time period, and for determining therefrom a habitual head posture and a preferred inclination of the spectacles.
- the head posture thus determined and the forward inclination angle of the spectacles associated therewith and also other measurement data serve for converting the centering data determined conventionally by means of the video centering device 110 , if, during their determination, the customer had assumed a head posture deviating from the normal head posture ( FIG. 2 c ).
- the other measurement data referred to above can, for example, be the arrangement of the spectacles in the frame or disc plane in (x, y).
- the centering data is, for example for reference point 206 and/or the near measurement circle 208 .

Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation application of international patent application PCT/EP 2010/002821, filed May 8, 2010, designating the United States and claiming priority from German application 10 2009 025 215.0, filed Jun. 17, 2009, and the entire content of both applications is incorporated herein by reference.
- The invention relates to a method for determining the habitual head posture of a subject and to an apparatus for determining the habitual head posture of a subject. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method for determining centering data and to an apparatus for determining centering data. The invention also relates to a computer program for carrying out the methods referred to above.
- When opticians, for optically adapting spectacles, determine the centering data, that is, all required information for the correct centering of spectacle lenses in a spectacle frame for the individual use purpose of the customer or subject, then the following procedure can be adopted:
- The customer is requested to adopt a head and body posture that is as natural as possible. The centering values are then defined by marking the viewing points in the disc plane of the spectacle frame by means of a pen or by means of video recording and subsequent manual centering data determination (such as in the case of the video centering device sold by the applicant under the trade name “Video Infral”) or automated centering data determination (such as in the case of the video centering device sold by the applicant under the trade name “RV terminal”).
- In order to determine the forward inclination angle, an aid called “Y-Stick” is known, which “freezes” the forward inclination angle of the spectacle frame at a point in time in order that said angle can subsequently be read. The forward inclination angle thus detected is used in a subsequent step for positioning the customer in the same position in front of a centering system.
- Furthermore, EP 1 591 064 A1 discloses a measuring instrument for determining the inclination of the head, this being sold by the applicant of EP 1 591 064 under the designation “Ysis”. The measuring instrument is fixed to the spectacle frame. This proposal aims to capture the “normal” head posture at a point in time in each case for the near and far viewing directions. From the head inclinations assumed when looking into the distance and when reading, the difference in head inclination between distant-vision and close-vision tasks is determined. The associated viewing points through the spectacle lens are then determined therefrom.
- All the above methods are static, that is to say that a “snapshot” of the respective situation is used for determining a habitual head posture.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,827,443 discloses classifying the behavior of a wearer of spectacles with regard to the latter's viewing habits. The typical head and eye movement is determined for various vision tasks. Depending on that, the viewing behavior of the subject is categorized according to “mobility” of the eyes and of the head (“head/eye mover”). The results of the analysis are used in this case as a basis for selecting a suitable spectacle lens.
- United States patent application publication 2007/0229761 discloses ascertaining the most frequent viewing directions relative to the head. For this purpose, head posture and viewing direction are detected simultaneously. The relative “net” viewing direction and the resultant viewing point through a spectacle lens are determined from the relative viewing directions determined.
- DE 2004 063 160 A1 describes a method and a device for adapting spectacles, in particular for detecting the habitual head posture of a subject, the measurement data of which are incorporated in video centering data determination. The method involves taking a number of video photographs of the subject in order to determine the head posture angles of a subject in various head posture positions, detecting the head posture angles and adjusting them with the forward inclination angle of the spectacle frame and also the corneal vertex distance. The corresponding video photographs are captured at a moment when, in the operator's opinion, the subject has adopted his or her natural habitual head posture.
- A centering measurement, that is, a measurement which involves determining all the required information for the correct centering of spectacle lenses in a spectacle frame for the individual use purpose of the customer or subject, constitutes a forced situation for the customer of the optician. Although it is known from the centering measurement how the customer holds his or her head during a recording, this head posture does not necessarily correspond to the “normal”, that is, the most frequent head posture in actually unforced situations.
- This also does not change if the method described in DE 10 2004 063 160 A1 is used. Furthermore, this method entails the risk of the purportedly natural head posture not being recorded at all, but rather a different head posture, since the subject has already adopted a different head posture within the reaction time of the operator.
- It is an object of the invention to provide an improved method for determining the habitual head posture of a subject, to be precise in such a way that the head posture determined comes closer to the actual “normal” head posture of the subject than is the case for the above-described methods concerning the prior art. A further object of the invention is to provide a corresponding apparatus for more precisely determining the habitual head posture of a subject. Furthermore, the object of the invention consists in providing a method rendered more precise for centering data determination and a corresponding apparatus suitable for performing the method according to the invention.
- The method according to the invention for determining the habitual head posture of a subject comprises the following method steps:
-
- a. recording the head posture over a certain period of time; and,
- b. determining a preferred head posture from the recorded head posture.
- The corresponding apparatus for determining the habitual head posture of the subject correspondingly comprises:
-
- a. a recording device for recording the head posture over the period of time; and,
- b. a determining device for determining the preferred head posture from the recorded head posture.
- The method outlined above and the corresponding apparatus designed, in particular, for carrying out this method prevent the habitual head posture of the subject from being mistakenly assumed as a head posture which is recorded or determined randomly at a point in time and which precisely does not correspond to the subject's usual head posture, as can be the case according to the methods from the prior art described in the introductory part of the disclosure under the heading “Background of the Invention”. The objects presented are therefore achieved in their entirety by this method and the corresponding apparatus.
- The assumption of the habitual head posture as the preferred head posture determined from a head posture recorded over a certain time also makes it possible, for example, to correct the head posture measured during the centering measurement (for example, with the aid of the video centering devices sold by the applicant under the designations Relaxed Vision Terminal and Video Infral), such that the centering data are determined on the basis of the “normal” rather than random head posture.
- The invention therefore also encompasses a method for determining centering data, wherein:
-
- a. an actual instantaneous head posture of a subject is determined;
- b. an arrangement of a spectacle frame relative to the actual instantaneous head posture determined is determined;
- c. a habitual head posture determined by an automated method is determined; and,
- d. the actual instantaneous head posture determined is corrected with the aid of the habitual head posture determined in an automated manner.
- The invention correspondingly also relates to an apparatus for determining centering data and includes:
-
- a. a head posture determining device for determining the actual instantaneous head posture of the subject;
- b. a determining device for determining the arrangement of the spectacle frame relative to the actual instantaneous head posture determined;
- c. an apparatus for determining the habitual head posture in an automated manner; and,
- d. a correction device for correcting the actual instantaneous head posture determined with the aid of the habitual head posture determined.
- The object specified above is achieved in its entirety by such a method and the corresponding apparatus.
- In the method according to the invention for determining the habitual head posture of a subject, the period of time within which the head posture is recorded can be predetermined. Thus, by way of example, the head posture can be recorded only during the time during which reliable data on the habitual posture of the subject's head can actually be inferred. The recording of forced and/or unnatural head postures can be avoided. Furthermore, the period of time can be defined individually such that the data material recorded permits a sufficiently reliable statement about the actual habitual head posture. It is expedient, for example, if, from the recording, only those time segments within which the subject has actually adopted a head and/or body posture corresponding to ergonomic principles are selected for the purpose of determining the habitual head posture.
- The preferred head posture should be understood to mean the head posture in which the subject keeps their head during a predetermined vision task with a certain probability. Typical values for said probability are, for example, above 30%, above 50%, above 80% or even above 90% for the specific vision task. Such an analysis can be carried out by means of customary mathematical/statistical methods. Suitable software algorithms can, as necessary automatically or with support by the user, eliminate extreme values (outliers) from the recorded volume of data of the habitual head posture, before a typical head posture is determined. By way of example, a selection is then made from the set of these most probable head postures.
- The recorded head posture in which the subject keeps their head with the highest probability can also be selected as the preferred head posture.
- Although it is possible, in principle, to leave it to the discretion of the subject in what body posture and/or what the subject views during the recording of their head posture, it is expedient in many cases to impose specific vision tasks on the subject. Particularly if the head posture is incorporated into the spectacle lens calculation or the centering of a spectacle lens, it is expedient to devote particular attention to the viewing directions for the near range and/or the far range. The invention provides, for example, for choosing as the preferred head posture one of the recorded postures in which the subject keeps their head during near-range viewing and/or during far-range viewing.
- Furthermore, it is expedient to take account of the body posture of the subject. A person will more likely be standing during far-range viewing, whereas a person preferably adopts a sitting position during near-range viewing, such as, for example, when reading. Therefore, the invention provides for choosing, as the preferred head posture, one of the recorded postures during which the subject is standing and/or sitting.
- The habitual head posture is especially dependent on the subject's activity and the visual impressions perceived by the subject. It is therefore furthermore expedient to present the subject with specific everyday situations and/or everyday vision tasks from and on which the subject's habitual head posture is intended to be determined. The advantage associated therewith is that the subject/customer is diverted from the actual measurement situation and therefore does not adopt an unnatural head posture. The vision tasks may consist in the subject/customer moving freely, for example, in the store of the optician who records the habitual head posture and, for example, viewing the goods on display, or the subject/customer, for example, following traffic situations represented by means of an electronic medium, such as a display, a beamer, et cetera, as is described, for example, in United States patent application publication 2007/0229761 A1, or the subject/customer being requested to read through a piece of text. The vision tasks are chosen, for example, such that a typical head posture when standing and/or when sitting can be determined. During centering data determination for reading spectacles, it will be necessary to take into consideration, for example, the habitual head posture during which the subject is sitting and reading.
- Specifically, the subject/customer, for the purpose of dynamically determining the habitual head posture over a time interval, can be presented with everyday situations or everyday vision tasks in the near and/or far range. In this time, the head posture, if appropriate in combination with the associated body posture and, if appropriate, also the (relative) positions such as, for example, the inclination of the spectacles or of the spectacle lenses worn by the subject, are measured continuously. The measurement is effected in such a way that the subject/customer is not adversely affected thereby. After the measurement, the respective most frequent head posture, and insofar as concomitantly recorded also the associated body posture, and, if appropriate, also the position, in particular inclination of the spectacles or of the spectacle lenses, can be determined and taken into account later when determining the centering data. In particular, it is possible to determine the viewing points during near- and/or distant-vision tasks, the so-called inset and/or the corridor length. Specifically, the viewing point through the spectacle lens can be determined, for example, from the head posture during viewing in the near and far range given a known position of the visual target. If the viewing points are known, it is thus also possible to determine the size of the inset, and also the length of the corridor of the near portion. A possible difference between head direction and viewing direction can also be taken into account when determining the viewing points and/or the inset.
- The head posture of the subject can be determined in a wide variety of ways. Thus, by way of example, the recording of the head posture can be carried out by means of a position recording device fitted to the subject's head. The position recording device can be fixed indirectly, that is, for example, to the spectacle frame arm, or directly to the client's head. Said position recording device can function according to the principle of a data logger with subsequent data transfer via a base station, or the data transfer can be effected simultaneously via a wireless connection, such as WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network), namely, for example, via Bluetooth, or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), online during the entire measurement interval. The position recording device can measure either absolute position information or else changes in position. In the second case, the measured-value pick-up has to be brought to a reference position before and/or after the measuring process, the orientation of said reference position being known. By way of example, a horizontal table surface or the support of a mount provided specifically for this purpose can serve as the reference position.
- The recording of the head posture can additionally or alternatively be carried out by means of an image recording device. An image recording device of this type can be e.g. a video or digital camera system with connected automated image evaluation. The image data can be processed further either as two-dimensional (2D) data directly or after the creation of a three-dimensional (3D) model as 3D data. By way of example, typical parameters such as forward inclination, lateral inclination, et cetera of the spectacles can also be determined from these data.
- In the method according to the invention for determining centering data, the actual instantaneous head posture determined can be corrected with the aid of the habitual head posture determined in such a way that the centering data are determined on the basis of the habitual rather than the random head posture. The correction can be effected, for example, by determining the deviation of the instantaneous head posture from the habitual head posture and converting/correcting the centering values on the basis of this deviation.
- The determined habitual head posture of the subject/customer and the forward inclination angle of the spectacles that is likewise determined, if appropriate, can also serve for the forced orientation of the customer for conventional centering data determination, by virtue of the fact that when the sought forward inclination angle of the spectacles is attained, an automatic triggering of the imaging units is initiated or a signal is given to the operator that the centering data can now be determined.
- The invention also provides, in particular, for the above-described methods for determining the habitual head posture and for determining centering data to be present in the form of computer programs comprising program codes which are executable in a computer. The computer programs can be stored on a machine-readable data carrier.
- For the sake of completeness, it is pointed out that the abovementioned recording device for recording the head posture over a period of time can comprise a position recording device and/or an image recording device which can be fitted to the subject's head. Position recording device and/or image recording device can be embodied, for example, in the manner described above. The determining device for determining a preferred head posture from the recording can comprise a computer.
- The head posture determining device for determining the actual instantaneous head posture of a subject can comprise a position recording device and/or an image recording device, in particular of the type described above. The determining device for determining the arrangement of a spectacle frame relative to the actual instantaneous head posture determined can comprise an image recording device, in particular a video or digital camera, and/or a computer.
- The invention will now be described with reference to the drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a schematic of an apparatus according to the invention for determining centering data with a device according to the invention for determining the habitual head posture of a subject or customer; -
FIG. 2 a shows a front view recording of the face of a customer with an adapted frame in the zero viewing direction; -
FIG. 2 b shows a side view of the customer ofFIG. 2 a; -
FIG. 2 c shows a front view of the customer ofFIG. 2 a with centering data, namely (x, y); and, -
FIG. 2 d shows a view from the side with centering data, namely corneal vertex distance and forward inclination of the frame. - It is assumed that a customer visits an optician's store for the purpose of procuring a new pair of spectacles. Firstly, the customer is given advice with regard to the spectacle lenses and frames appropriate for the customer. After the frame has been selected, the actual centering data determination takes place with the aid of an apparatus according to the invention.
-
FIG. 1 shows an apparatus according to the invention for determining centeringdata 100. This apparatus for determining centeringdata 100 comprises avideo centering device 110 withvideo camera 112 andcomputer 114 withkeyboard 116,screen 118 andstorage medium 120. This is a calibrated system, that is, a system for recording and determining dimensions. - The customer's face is recorded with an
adaptive frame 202 in the zero viewing direction from the front and from the side by means of thevideo camera 112, as is illustrated inFIGS. 2 a and 2 b. - With the front recording (
FIG. 2 c) represented on thescreen 118, firstly theframe form 202 is detected. Furthermore, the pupil centers 204 are determined, for example, by the coincidence method, relative to theframe form 202. With the side recording, the corneal vertex distance HSA and the forward inclination (p) of the frame are determined in order to fulfill the eye rotation point requirement, as illustrated inFIG. 2 d. - The invention now provides for recording the habitual head posture and the inclination of the spectacles, for example, with the aid of the calibrated video camera over a relatively long time period, and for determining therefrom a habitual head posture and a preferred inclination of the spectacles.
- The head posture thus determined and the forward inclination angle of the spectacles associated therewith and also other measurement data serve for converting the centering data determined conventionally by means of the
video centering device 110, if, during their determination, the customer had assumed a head posture deviating from the normal head posture (FIG. 2 c). The other measurement data referred to above can, for example, be the arrangement of the spectacles in the frame or disc plane in (x, y). The centering data is, for example forreference point 206 and/or thenear measurement circle 208. - It is understood that the foregoing description is that of the preferred embodiments of the invention and that various changes and modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
